“I don’t know,” I tell her, “I could see Kazmir directed by Rob Reiner in a Princess Bride style. I could see Kazmir done by Tim Burton in his darker style. The story has elements for both. I also don’t want to rule out Pixar.” She suggests that I write a letter and just ask if there’s interest to direct my movie. That sounds simple enough. Sure, Rob Reiner and TIm Burton are just people like us, right?

I contact all the people I know, trying to find at least 6 degrees of separation to Mr. Tim Burton. Sure, I’ll write a letter, but it always seems better to say that so-and-so suggested I contact you. I just can’t believe that no one knows the man. I mean, he works. He’s gotta eat.

Well, maybe our paths will cross, but in the meantime, I might as well try just sending a letter and audiobook to his company. It’s a long-shot, but so was writing this book, and getting Bryan Cranston to narrate it, and getting it talked about on national TV on the Bonnie Hunt Show. Let’s face it, long-shots aren’t what they once were.
